Beppo:

An original upright script font

I worked with Nils Lindstrom at PhD Studios to create this unique script font.

Beppo is a bold upright casual script with a condensed character width and a high x-height. Beppo was based on hand painted signs seen at an italian restaurant. There is a small caps feature, which lines up to the x-height of the lowercase letters. There are contextual alternates to give a natural, hand-painted appearance. There are proportional, lining, and oldstyle figures. There are built-in automatic fractions for any number of numerators or denominators. It has a full set of accented characters or diacritics.

Beppo was designed to be used as a display font. It luxuriates in large sizes. It is at home on large signs, posters, banners, and flyers where its handcrafted detail can be seen and appreciated.
